The film ends with someone discovering Herzog's head and he is still alive.

This was a great film. I loved how it just kept flying along. There were no dull moments in this one.Like the original, it has a sense of humour but plenty of horror also. The zombies were good and the story was fun. I liked how they brought back a survivor for this and the idea of him having powers was interesting. If you liked the first film, I know that you will enjoy this. I certainly did and I highly recommend this one. It is fun and gory and it will satisfy any horror fan. I will give it a 7/10.
